`in in this way, it is necessary to disengage the sash cords which are attached to the free or swii'iging edge of the sash. According to To Aall whom it may concern:` Be it known that I, FELIX Dnc'ioiieis, a citizen of the United States,

andV a resident of fest Hoboken, in the county of Hudson l `my inventin, I provide a socket to be atand State of New Jersey, have invented tached in the edge of the sash which isof a new anolmproved Socket for Sash-Cords, construction which facilitates the connection of which the following is a full, clear, and and disconnection of the sash cord. FureXact description. f ther-more, when the sash cord is disconnected This invention relates to sash cords, and from the sash as suggested, it is necessary to l0 particularly to means for securing the saine secure the sash cord in some way while the to the sash, or for holding a sash cord when4 window is beingV cleaned. .in order to prothe sash is disconnected, as for instance when ,Y vide for this I adapt the sockets of the fasthe window is being cleaned.V y tening` devices for the'stop so that they af- Tlie object of the iiiventionis yto provide i ford means for securing the sash cords as a socket having a special Vconstructionwhich] suggested.

On acfor holding the sash cords; Fig; 5 is a view count of the form of the socket described, similar to Figz4, but representing the stop this hook may 'be very readily applied as removed and showingl the sash cord as at simply by thrustinoF the hook down a0 ainst tached in the socket of the catch. the forward face o the spring near therear efore proceeding to .av detailed descri side of the bar. By applying the hook in tion of the invention, it may facilitate theV this way the spring is deected rearwardly disclosure to state that-the invention relates l and permits the rhook to drop down behind particularly to window constructions which the bar, whereupon when the` hook is represent a removable stop which upon being leased the spring presses against its rear iernoved permits one side of the sash to e side and holds it in position on the bar, as swung into the room so as to enable the'win-V will be readily understood.

. Referring now to Fig. 3, 14C represents the removable stop. stop is secured to mg devices 16.

-ing devices 16 is clearly illustrated in Figs.

s and 5. Each 'fastening device comprises a sockety 17 which is set in the face of the easement and provided with flanges 18 at the upper and lower edges, which are secured by'serews 19, as shown. These sockets 1T are not of the open forni of the sockets et, but are true sockets, that is, they present a hack wall Q0, ar top, bottoni and side walls.

k'Flic longitudinal side walls 21 are connected by a bar i12, as shown, and the back wall 20 is provided with a spring 23, the lower end ot' which presses against the inner sideot' the bar 22, indicated. On the outer side oit the stop 1/1-, a tace platev 2l is attached, in which a catch is pivotally attached on a pin 26. This catch projects inwardly and has a downwardly projecting nib which is adapted to engage in an opening 2T formed in the lower end ot the socket 1T, as shown. Behind the catch 25 a spring 28 is provided which tends to press the catch downwardly, as indicated. rlhe catch 25 is provided with an integral finger lever or handle 29 oa the outer side ot the tace plate. r,The tace plate is conntersnnk and received in the tace of the stop, as shown. By pulling the tinger 29 outwardly,the catch 2,5 may be released from the socket 17 and the stop may which extends upwardly and lies* the bar 22 by means of its i t i t l l t as indicated in Fig. then be attached to hook 31, as indicated in Fig. 5. ln this way the sash cord may be -secured while the window is being cleaned.

Attention is called to the tacty that the hooks 12 and 3l have elongated bodies which enable the hooks to be held rigidly when they are being applied or disengaged.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentg 1. A socket ot' the class described, having a. har adapted to hold a hook and lraving` a resilient member pressing against said bar and adapted to be displaced by the hook.

2. socket having a transverse bar with a spring pressing the side ol" said har, said bar being adapted to receive a hook between said bar and said spring, in con'ibination with a bead fastener having a linger projecting into said socket, said socket having means for engaging said linger to retain the saine.

In testimony whereof l have signed my naine to this specification in the presence ot two subscribing witnesses.
